I could be wrong Atb j It would depend on how big their territory would need to be, an if there was somewhere remote enough to sustain them, although I doubt it would ever happen, be nice though Link to post Share on other sites

If you need something to take off you really need a bird. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Windpipe clamp mate normally throat or over the muzzle, I always look for teeth mark in these two places the jaguar uses a bite through the top of the head to kill caman, but the ones we are dealing with suffocate there prey, this deer is a bit old but the damage to the end of the nose is a good clue Edited February 5, 2020 by Greyman 1 Link to post Share on other sites
